yes, if they can prove it. i'd go ahead and go in with oem wheels and raise up the suspension.

most likely.
raise the suspension to the stock specs and don't take it out. Maybe that'll help.

Yeah I would go throw on some OEM wheels and then go in, they would need to prove that its the mods you have done caused the problems you are having.

Just swap out the wheels and tires. . . . anything that might affect the DRIVETRAIN.


Oh, and the cure for a bad torque converter is to get a manual transmission.

You've gone through two transmissions in 30k miles? You must be doing a lot of neutral drops or driving it wrong or something?

they can use the wheel excuse. They did that crap on me when my axle bearings had warn out. I only got 18s and they are the alloy Tenzo Rs5!
I am just keeping them warn now, becuase I really dont notice anything and I have to replace all that if I swap anyways.
Get a tranny cooler, I heard thats the problem with 01's I have a 02 and they fixed that problem!!!!!!
